Joseph Dinkel (1806 – 1891) was an Austrian artist known for his illustrations of scientific specimens including for works by Louis Agassiz. He also did architectural and engineering drawing.[1] Dinkel studied at the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts.[2] Agassiz met Dinkel in 1828 and they collaborated for more than 20 years, including travels together. Dinkel did illustrations of fish for Agassiz on the early trips.[3] Dinkel also did engraved illustrations of specimens in museum and private collections for Agassiz.[4] Palaeontologist Richard Owen arranged for a lithograph by Dinkel of an Altispinax specimen.
